Hey i got a 95' s14(ka24de). I recently just changed the radiator,hoses,water pump, thermostat, pretty much everything in the cooling system,except for the fan. SO all of this was just replaced about 3 months ago, and the car ran fine with no problems.

but yesterday the car started overheating which makes no sense at all. its also leaking on the drivers side by the overflow resovoir. Any ideas on what it is please help.

Did you bleed your system? Pictures help....

I don't believe in non-pressurized bleeding....

Yeah dude Bleed the system, I had a very similar problem.
Also it helps the angle the car i.e. get the front up on jack stands

Get it to O/T and crack open the bleeder screw.
Also make sure your coolant levels are proper.

Bleed your system and tighten/replace that hose that's leaking.
